Purpose The paper aims to explore the long-term prospects of mobile broadband adoption in a developing country. The supply-side and demand-side policy measures are recommended to counter the challenges to broadband adoption. Design/methodology/approach Methodologically, this study uses document analysis to explain secondary data including growth statistics, trade literature and previous scholarly research. Based on the growth statistics of broadband and the informed market insights, the research discusses the prevailing market threats and recommends counter measures to improve the long-term prospects of broadband propagation. Findings The growth of mobile broadband is settling down in Pakistan due to various barriers like cost, literacy, security and unavailability of local content. Collaborative efforts are required by the government, the service providers and the people to enhance the adoption of broadband service and secure economic benefits of the broadband. Practical implications The research offers useful implications for managers and policymakers in Asian and African developing countries; the policy measures discussed here may serve as guidelines for them in the design of their own policies regarding broadband supply and demand. Originality/value The study makes an effort to examine the broadband growth in a developing country on the basis of both quantitative and qualitative aspects. The research endeavors to fill the gap on the particular scholarship of research covering potential uptake of broadband services and the effects of constraining elements to broadband adoption in a developing country.

Tight competition in the broadband industry has forced the provider to have a good product propotition and strategy in the market, including market segmentation and type of services delivered based on customer’s expextation and intention to buy. This research aims to make a product proposition based on two major criteries in fixed broadband service, which are speed and price of the product, by looking into the competition in existing market (competitor’s product). As many players in Indonesia have created very tight situation, the will be launched product should have an attractive matter or differentiation in order to compete and get a “buy in” of the customer. In the research, some analysis was conducted across all the propositions by spreading questionnaires to respondents in urban area especially in Jakarta and Bandung, thus the provider can create product with an appropriate specifications to answer the needs of customers on their affordable price to buy. Some close-ended questions in the questionairres were scaled and performed by basic statistical approach methods. The result shows that product with affordable price is still become the choice of respondents in each segment (low, medium and high income). Price list per speed which is fitted to any segments is also suggested in this research. The result of the research can also be used to develop the product as a differentiation to be the choices and preferencesof customers.

A inclusão digital abre inúmeras possibilidades para integração, promoção do bem estar social (e-inclusion), educação complementar (internet voltada para aplicação de softwares com grande capacidade para educação) ou à distância (e-learning) e desenvolvimento profissional. A velocidade constante e a necessidade de alta capacidade de transmissão multimídia no meio educativo só serão viáveis se existir uma rede internet de banda larga com preços acessíveis. Este trabalho pauta-se em ampla pesquisa de tecnologias inovadoras para internet de banda larga voltada para implantação em municípios brasileiros onde a mesma não esteja disponível. Buscando a redução do valor final para o usuário, tanto residencial quanto comercial. Assim, propomos apresentar, elaborar e selecionar informações atuais relativas às implantações das tecnologias EPON (Ethernet Passive Optical Networks) e GPON (Gigabyte-capable Passive Optical Networks) nas redes ópticas de acesso. Uma vez que permanecem em aberto na literatura especializada trabalhos analisando a viabilidade técnica e econômica de redes GPON e EPON, as quais continuam concorrendo até hoje, sem uma dominação ou exclusão definida. Após análise em trabalhos anteriores atualizamos e ampliamos informações de implantações recentes destas redes, comparando tendências dessas tecnologias aplicadas em nível nacional e internacional. Como metodologia de modelamento, criamos tabelas com valores hipotéticos baseados nos números do mercado de equipamentos, para termos um panorama do investimento e do custeio total na implantação de projetos, isto visando a comparação técnica-econômica das tecnologias GPON e EPON. Após a análise técnica-econômica da implatação de ambas, concluímos que devido aos investimentos e aos custos na implantação da rede banda larga nos países latino americanos é mais conveniente a utilização dos equipamentos GPON devido aos valores de investimento e custos serem atrativos. Além de que temos que buscar novos meios de baratear os valores cobrados nas mensalidades das empresas fornecedoras do serviço de banda larga, visando especialmente a obtenção do custo zero para as instituições de ensino presencial e no menor custo para o EAD. Palavras-chave: Banda Larga. Internet. EAD.   ABSTRACT Digital inclusion opens up numerous possibilities for integration , promotion of social welfare (e-inclusion) , further education (internet facing application software with great capacity for education) or distance learning (e-learning) and professional development . The constant speed and the necessity of a high-capacity multimedia transmission in the educational world will only be possible if there is an acessible price in broadband internet network.This is an extensive research of innovative technologies for broadband internet to implant in Brazilian´s cities where this kind of resource is not available, aiming a reduction in the final value to both users, residential and commercial. So, we intend to present ,to prepare and to select current information regarding deployments of EPON (Ethernet Passive Optical Networks) and GPON technologies (Gigabyt-capable Passive Optical Networks) in optical access networks. Once there is a lack, in technical literature, of other projects analysing the technical and economial feasibility of GPON and EPON networks , which continue running until today , without domination or exclusion set. After analysis in previous papers, we updated and expanded information from recent deployments of these networks by comparing trends of these technologies applied in national and internacional levels. As a methodology for modeling the project, we created tables with hypothetical values based on the numbers of the equipment market , in order to have an overview of the investment and the total cost to implement this project, aiming at technical-economic comparison of EPON and GPON technologies . After the technical - economic analysis of implanting both , we conclude that due to investments and the costs in the deployment of the broadband network in Latin American countries, it is more convenient to use the equipment GPON, because the values and costs are more attractive . Besides, we have to look for new ways to cheapen the monthly payment of suppliers of broadband service, especially aiming zero cost to the institutions of classroom teaching and the lowest cost to the EAD(d-Learning). Keywords: Broadband. Internet. EAD.

Digitization of the airwaves and the consequent ‘digital dividend’ led to the vacating of key parts of the spectrum, the main recipients of which were mobile broadband service providers. However, this has trained the focus of still unsatisfied demands of certain providers to a lesser-known part of the spectrum called TV white spaces. White spaces are spectrum buffer zones constructed to prevent interference between broadcasters. Historically, these spaces were occupied by providers of Programme Making and Special Events (PMSE) services, like wireless microphones and wireless in-ear monitor (IEM) systems, which were used mainly in large venues and productions (e.g. concerts halls, churches, schools, theatres, sports and political events). However, as white spaces were considered under-occupied, it led to pressure for them to be opened up to a wider range of users and lower power Internet of Things (IoT) applications. Initiatives to reform TVWS use, led by the United States and the United Kingdom, are underpinned by vital technical standards with the aim of introducing computer-mediated Dynamic Spectrum Access (DSA) to implement use of the wireless environment. The chapter highlights the contingent nature of technical standards-making in processes of TVWS development in that it shows how opportunities presented by technical standards are constrained by conflict when powerful incumbent interests from commercial, public service, and civil society quarters present opposition to such change.
